New Body Art Shop: High Tide Tattoo: Tattoo artists Dave Lang and Jack Marchant, and body piercer Shane Sewell are the artists at New Tide Tattoo, which opened in Juneau in March. "It's a service industry," Lang said. "It's not as much about my individual art as it is about making people happy, figuring out exactly what they want and taking it very seriously. I'm up a lot of nights drawing. Every tattoo is a big deal."
